Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This study looked at how pain-sensing nerves in the kidney help protect the organ. It found that these nerves release a chemical that calms down immune cells. This action helps prevent scarring and damage after blood flow is cut off. The work was done in animals, not people yet.
